I do not understand the Utah hate some seem to have. That seems messed up to me.
I have family who are Cougs, Utes and even a few Aggies. I am okay with that. I love them all and don't really enjoy it when they feel bad.
I have two sons who are die-hard Bulls fans. It was hard for me when the Jazz played them in the finals in 98/99. But, they are my sons and blood is thicker than their fandom.
I can see cheering against your rival when it helps your team, but the outright hate makes no sense to me.
